v0.73.0

[steven-sheehy]

This release is the first one with support for HIP-584 EVM Archive Node. HIP-584 allows mirror nodes to act as a read only EVM for free execution of smart contracts. This is considered an alpha release with much of the functionality still to be implemented like support for precompiled contracts, gas estimation, etc. This functionality requires the mirror node to be configured to ingest the optional traceability sidecar files and it requires a network where those files are generated. Currently only previewnet has contract traceability enabled.

The testnet bucket name has been updated to the new bucket name after its recent quarterly reset. Likewise the bootstrap testnet address book was updated to reflect the additional testnet nodes that have been added since the previous reset. Mirror node operators running a testnet node should either manually populate to the new bucket name or update to this release.

The remaining work targeted significant testing improvements and bug fixes. Our performance tests were expanded to include support for any missing endpoints to catch issues earlier in the lifecycle. Additional acceptance test coverage was added along with a number of fixes to that area. CI stability has greatly improved with a focus on fixing flaky tests. Code smells as reported by Sonar were reduced to only a handful and in the next release reduced all the way down to zero. Finally, we merged work that enables nightly performance testing in our integration and mainnet staging environments via TestKube.
